Parish Renewal
As a Parish we are currently in the process of the Diocesan Parish Renewal Program, so as to discern God's vision for our Parish to enable us to work together with the Holy Spirit to plan and implement strategies to realise this.
Throughout this process we are using as a grid 'The Five Marks of Mission of the Worldwide Anglican Communion' and 'The 7 Marks of a healthy church.'
